We simply want the implementation to better, which in turn makes it more effective. Including actual usual information in the alert is a component of that, as just said by Locke. It is for that reason that I use the AEA app and have disabled the alerts which, on my device, simply blast a tornado siren and provide no information.
Again, the only fallacy here is equating the desire for a better system with a "lack of empathy".

Except that almost every recommendation for how to fix it is based on a lack of empathy. It is basically that you only want to know about emergencies that will affect you, and suggesting that Amber Alerts aren't important enough to be disturbed over. Or people who are still using flip phones and can't seem to touch the link in the alert notificatoin.
